This month has totally gotten away from me. Changes at home. Changes at work. It's been a very busy, hectic, wonderful to be here season.
We celebrated Elliot's 3rd birthday. Three, already! He is pure joy.

Adopted a Chi-Weenie into our little family. He fits perfectly with us.

With Elliot's lead in blood levels reading an eight for the second time in three months, we've had a visit from The Allegheny County Health Department. While they were more about safety tips than reducing lead (basically, cover all floors, paint all surfaces (thank you Dad for paneling most rooms), wet-dust often), they brought lots of cleaning aids and safety goodies. They said that not often does lead poisoning come from tap water (um, have you heard of Flint???), it's more from lead paint dust found in floor boards and wood trim, especially in a house as old as ours. Soooo, Saturday, Mom and I washed the living room from ceiling to floor (seriously), laundered curtains, washed windows and floors. Swept. Sunday, I did the same in the dining room. Two rooms down, 8 more to go. It's seriously good and the rooms look and smell clean. We are taking Spring Cleaning by storm this year.
I've been reading like crazy, working like nobody's business and just enjoying the every day. And that's what's been going on around here, lately.
How is your April??????

Friday, April 1, 2016

April Showers – it was
sprinkling as I came into the office this morning. Sunday is supposed
to be in the low 30’s. UGH! But then
again, if that’s the last bit of
artic-ness, then okay.

We enter April with a new
family member. Meet Finn. Finn is a Chi-weenie, but from the looks of
him – mostly weenie. He came home with
us yesterday, weighing in at 4.3 lbs.
Finn is 3 ½ months, his birthday being December 13, 2015. He and Elliot bonded nicely, with Elliot
yelling ‘chase me’ and Finn obliging, round and round the coffee table they
went.

Watching: Movies, with Kayla. We’ve
watched The Martian, Secret in Their Eyes, Spy, and more. It’s just a cycle we are currently in.
